Searching for program: no such file or directory, w3m

Searching for program: no such file or directory, w3m

[Óscar Fuentes]

While displaying some e-mail messages, gnus shows

Searching for program: no such file or directory, w3m

and this on the *Messages* buffer:

mm-inline-text-html-render-with-w3m-standalone: Searching for program:
no such file or directory, w3m

I'm using Gnus 5.13 on Emacs GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195)
of 2008-03-21

I have no references to w3m on .emacs or .gnus.el.

This only happens after some time of using Emacs. If I start a new Emacs
session, Gnus shows the message correctly.

I don't have an idea why it happens only sometimes, unless your Emacs
can find the w3m binary when loading mm-decode, but not later when
displaying the article.

On 2008-03-02, I've changed `mm-text-html-renderer' to prefer w3m if
available:

	* mm-decode.el (mm-text-html-renderer): Prefer w3m over w3.  Fall back
	to nil, instead of html2text.

This was synced to Emacs on 2008-03-10, so your Emacs also contains
it:

(defcustom mm-text-html-renderer
  (cond ((executable-find "w3m")
	 (if (locate-library "w3m")
	     'w3m
	   'w3m-standalone))
	((executable-find "links") 'links)
	((executable-find "lynx") 'lynx)
	((locate-library "w3") 'w3)
	((locate-library "html2text") 'html2text)
	(t nil))
[...]

Maybe showing us the backtrace might help.  Set `debug-on-error' to t
(M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET), repeat the error and post the
backtrace.

Bye, Reiner.

There is no w3m on my system (I played with it long time ago, but
removed it). However, Emacs insists on creating an empty .w3m directory
on my $HOME.
